My name is Maria and I created this website to help inspire and empower women of all shades and lifestyles to overcome their past or current pain and trauma. I wrote a book called "Broken Cycle" which embodies the true essence of a woman journeying through healing, acceptance, and growth. The story is loosely based off true events in my life, as I too have been a victim of different forms of abuse, including verbal, emotional, physical and sexual. I'm a single mom of two daughters, an educator and currently obtaining my Masters in Secondary Education. I want to be an inspiration to women everywhere, and encourage them to believe their pain is not who they are. We are more than our trauma, and we are worthy of peaceful lives filled with love, light, and joy.
